#4 INVINCIBLE GAL (2-1) broke slow from the far outside post and passed a trio of runners as a 67-1 outsider in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) Nov. 6. She was entered in the Jimmy Durante Stakes (G3) at Del Mar Nov. 28 but drew poorly and ends up here instead. Graham Motion’s versatile filly ran well in her first three turf starts and might be classier than these. Jose Ortiz rides back. 

#10 Island Treasure (6-1) showed marked improvement in her turf route maiden win on yielding ground at Belmont Park second time out. She could easily continue to improve for the productive Lezcano/McGaughey team. 

#2 Lovestruck (7-5) earned a quality late pace rating in her winning Saratoga turf route debut Sept. 7. She should get pace to chase and is a solid late threat if she improves at all second time out. 

Wagers: 

#4 to win

How do you know how much to play or which wagers to try? Unfortunately, part of the learning process can include losing money. But we would like to help you shortcut that process by learning some of the most common mistakes that horseplayers make on a daily basis.
